Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his spirits aren't good either. May I ask if a nine-month-old baby can drink honey water?Doctor's answer:
Due to the poor gastrointestinal barrier function in infants and young children, it is difficult for them to resist bacteria and toxins, so it should be used with caution. However, botulism caused by honey is not due to the presence of Clostridium botulinum in honey itself, but rather due to contamination during processing, transportation, storage, or . Therefore, it is best to avoid giving honey to infants under one year old. Once honey cannot be thoroughly disinfected, it may have adverse effects on infants with weaker digestive systems.
